John Kane, from Coleraine, has been named Citizen of the Year for this work with the Coleraine and District Development Association, Waste Water Recycling Project, Coleraine Community Bank, Coleraine and District Catholic Church and Pedal Car Grand Prix Committee, as well as local sporting and Landcare groups. WEA Terrie Johnson, 17, from Coleraine, has been named Young Citizen of the Year for her ambassadorship for the Magic Moments seminars on youth leadership and business, and her appeal with the Holy Trinity Anglican Church to help Indian families secure a future income. She has also volunteered with Apex, CFA, the Australian Pedal Car Grand Prix and Tara’s music school. Ms Johnson has trained as a peer support leader at Baimbridge College where she attends secondary school. Mr Kane said the most important initiative he has taken part in was the Coleraine Bendigo Community Bank, which has enough funds under management to return signifi cant amount of money to local causes. He said the project fi ts with the Coleraine community’s self reliance and self suffi ciency. Ms Johnson said her charity work focused on providing the means and training for an Indian family to earn their own living, rather than a short-term handout.
